Ingredients
PREP TIME: 10 minutes

- 20 small pretzels – We use waffle pretzels, but pretzel twists work too.

Increase the Serving Size
The recipe is written for 20 pretzel candies, but you can fill the baking sheet with as many pretzels that fit in a single layer. Be sure to have enough Rolos and M&Ms to put on top.

Recipe FAQ
This makes a fun gift for others to make during the holiday season. Fill a mason jar with an equal amount of pretzels, M&Ms, and Rolos, and attach a gift tag with baking instructions. Or you can fill a jar with already assembled Rolo pretzel bites.
Make pretzels with Rolo’s 1-2 days ahead of time and store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
Keep these in an airtight container for 5-7 days. They are freezable, but the Rolos tend to pop off the pretzel.
